Buy a Home

Step 1

Define Your Goals

What is your goal for your home purchase? Whether you are looking to purchase your first or are adding to your portfolio, you are already considering a smart and worthwhile investment.

Step 2

Get Pre-Approved

If you are financing your home purchase, getting pre-approved is a big leg up when making your offer stand out (especially in a Seller's market)! This is a great time to talk to different lenders (they can give or match different rates) and see exactly what is in your price range.

Step 3

Shop the Market

This is where having a trusted Real Estate agent really comes into play. You want all viable options in front of you, and sometimes those options aren't on the public market. Find an agent that can get you access to listings that are soon to hit the market or being offered for private sale. (Psssst, that's us!)

Step 4

See Your Options

It's time to see your options in person and take stock of what really checks the boxes, and what you could do without. We're here to make sure that your future home not only makes sense financially, but feels right to you.

Step 5

Submit an Offer

Again, now is the time where having an experienced agent really matters! Especially in a market where Seller's are receiving multiple offers, a well written, strong offer will make all the difference. Once you've decided upon the home of your dreams, a strong offer will help get you closer to making it happen.

Step 6

Do Your Due Diligence

Once you go under contract, depending on the terms, you will likely go into a period called "Due Diligence". This is the time to make sure that your homework is done. Your agent will be able to help coordinate inspections, read reports, and make sure that everything is in good standing for your purchase.

Step 7

Head to the Closing Table

Now is your time to sign the documents and get the keys! Your agent can help you coordinate with movers and any loose ends you need to tie up. Congratulations!
